  1. Re: Should Audio Components Sizes Be Standard?

    Or like Benchmark offering optional front plates for their rather small amps to make them rack mount sized.

    Rack mount was nice back in the day :).

    But, as can be seen, it never really worked...

    New Vanessa Fernandez album. Currently listening to the DSD512 download! This is her fourth album, and it is yet another stellar effort. All four would go on my list of fantastic albums and four...

    And I am finding just the opposite. I guess all the other components and gear contribute to the overall experience. Having all your music on a NAS is a big hit, lower-level processors, cpu, ram and...

    I agree on the premise of your post but disagree in that Apple works every time. I helped my buddy work through his setup using his Apple when I stayed with him prior to retirement. It was...

    Re: On the future of Roon...

    I remember those days before Windows 95 version 2; the first OS to introduce USB. Times before were "interesting"; having to set your comm ports, and Config.sys file, and autoexec.bat files to move...

    Nope... some thunderstorms of course. I think Florida has had more Tornados than Wichita since we have been here :). Actually, Wichita does not have a history of Tornados... South in Oklahoma seems...

    I am kind of liking the central US so far. I lived East (Upstate NY), and West Coast (Central Coast of California), but Wichita seems pretty nice. Big enough to get you most everything (except for...

    I personally would doubt you will get a better match to your Reference 5s than the matching Reference 8b sub. KEF does indeed make some really good subs. I am constantly amazed at how good the tiny...

    This is my point. It all comes down to what works best for each of our needs and desires. When I give opinions, it is purely based on my wants and desires. I do try to give my reasoning for why I...

    Re: Schiit Jotunheim 2

    I hope you enjoy it. My biggest issue with the Lyr+ is that it is single ended only. I will not consider a headphone amp that is not fully balanced at this point in time.

    I was considering the...

    After talking with McIntosh techs, I decided to go with their standard line A/B amplifiers. He said that the Class D amps are nice, but for a music only system the standard line A/B amplifiers sound...

    Do you power the Abyss AB1266 with the Schiit Lyr+ amplifier? That is awesome that the Schiit amps can power such amazing high-end headphones! In my view they are the finest headphone on the market!
